Commonly Asked Questions

  • How can a real estate attorney assist with negotiating repairs after a home inspection in Beacon, NY?

    A real estate attorney in Beacon, NY can assist in negotiating repairs after a home inspection by reviewing the inspection report, identifying necessary repairs, and working with the seller's attorney to ensure that the necessary repairs are completed satisfactorily.

  • What is the importance of a title search when purchasing real estate in Beacon, NY?

    A title search is crucial when buying a home in Beacon, NY as it helps uncover any existing liens, easements, or other issues that may affect your ownership rights. It ensures that you are purchasing a property with a clear title.

Protect Your Interests: Real Estate Purchase Legal Aid in NY

If you are purchasing real estate in New York, you can opt to let the seller’s attorney handle the contract for you. However, doing so will likely result in a contract that favors the seller, not you. When you hire your own attorney, you can rest assured that your interests will be protected throughout the process, including the contract language that’s created and ultimately signed by both parties. 

Working with a NY real estate lawyer is especially beneficial if you are buying:

  • A property out of town
  • A commercial property
  • A bank-owned or short-sale property
  • An estate sale property
  • A property that may have structural issues

The complex nature of each of these cases means you will want an attorney you trust to review the contract for potential mistakes, legal issues, and/or unfair clauses. 

At Letterio & Haug, LLP, we go even further when representing buyers, not only reviewing and amending contract language as needed, but also negotiating repairs and adjustments after the title search and home inspection have been completed to ensure our clients’ best interests are met. We also make ourselves available to attend closing with you to provide advice and guidance if any last-minute issues come up.

Expert Guidance for Real Estate Sellers in New York

Given the amount of time, paperwork, and money that go into selling a home, hiring a lawyer to assist in the process is an indispensable asset for protecting your interests and preventing costly missteps. 

Outside of the closing process where the presence of an attorney is required, you should seriously consider hiring legal representation for sales involving special circumstances, such as: 

  • Estate sales, where ownership documents will need to be assessed and verified by someone who is intimately familiar with the real estate process. 
  • Joint sales, which involve the interests of someone other than yourself or your spouse, meaning you’ll want an attorney who can protect and prioritize your interests. 
  • Liens, where proper communication with the title company will be an essential component to ensuring all lien holders are paid, thus allowing for closing to occur without any hitches.  
  • Short sales, where your lender has agreed to allow you to sell the home for less than you owe, which creates its own set of complexities throughout the process.
